Here is the synopsis for “Tourist Trap”:

Directed by David Schmoeller. Starring Chuck Connors, Jocelyn Jones and Jon Van Ness. In English.

Terror nerds are well aware that the American road holds myriad dangers. Many a frenzied sasquatch, invisible space vampire and/or cannibalistic madman has transformed our turnpikes into his personal open-air slaughterhouse. In the great Halls of Highway Homicide, though, no film dares examine the darkest precipices of rural insanity like the crushingly inventive “Tourist Trap”.

Rectangle-jawed screen ham Chuck “The Rifleman” Connors plays mysterious Mr. Slausen: a dubious yokel who leads a life of quiet isolation in the woods.

When a couple carloads of recreation-hungry youths happen across his private property, Slausen introduces them to a bold new cavalcade of nightmares including – but not limited to – autonomous singing mannequins, gender-bent nutzoids and a telekinetic, knife-throwing fiend. Goddamn!

You may have watched a thousand car-broke-down-in-a-maniac’s-front-yard movies, but until you’ve seen “Tourist Trap,” you’re still wearing your horror Huggies.

Here is the synopsis for “Miami Connection”:

Directed by Y.K. Kim and Woo-sang Park. Starring Y.K. Kim, Vincent Hirsch and Joseph Diamand. In English.

The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade – viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sounds have had enough and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice.

When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit “Against the Ninja,” Mark (kung-fu master and inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly.

It’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sounds can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine” and the entire Miami connection.
